THREAD

1)
 Let’s talk about @CNN’s latest attempt to portray a dove image of #Iran’s mullahs & the terrorist-designated IRGC by giving a platform to known Tehran apologist/lobbyist @nargesbajoghli.

To be fair, here's the entire interview:
2)
 A few talking points used by Bajoghli:
-Most Iranians today do not remember the 1979 revolution & the Iran-Iraq War (meaning we should forgo all of the mullahs/IRGC crimes during that horrific period).
-The regime/IRGC are rebranding to nationalist viewpoints.
3)
 Bajoghli claims the IRGC “is moving away from some of the founding stories of the Islamic Republic…”

Reminder - Iran armed forces chief of staff:
UK's seizure of Iran's oil tanker "will not go unanswered. If necessary, it will be responded in an appropriate time & place."

SHORT THREAD

1)
 20 years ago today, on July 9th, 1999, tens of thousands of students rallied across Iran, rocking the very pillars of the mullahs’ regime.
#IranRegimeChange
2)
 Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, then Secretary of the High National Security Council, directed & supported the severe crackdown.
(Farsi video)

He literally says authorities were prepared to "butcher" the protesters.

Some in the West still describe Rouhani as a “moderate.”
3)
 The “moderate” Rouhani had described the protesting students as “enemies of the state.”

(Note: I don’t agree with all issues raised in this piece.)

You do not have the permission of Congress to go to war in Iran. If you want a war in Iran, you have to come to us. It's the way the Constitution was written, and it needs to be very clear. reason.com/blog/2019/04/1…

#BREAKING
#Iran has given ballistic missiles to Shi’ite proxies in #Iraq and is developing the capacity to build more there to deter attacks on its interests in the Middle East and to give it the means to hit regional foes, Iranian, Iraqi and Western sources said.
Reuters: "According to three #Iranian officials, two Iraqi intelligence sources and two Western intelligence sources, Iran has transferred short-range ballistic missiles to allies in Iraq over the last few months."
#IranDeal
The Zelzal, Fateh-110 and Zolfaqar missiles in question have ranges of about 200 km to 700 km, putting Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh or the #Israeli city of Tel Aviv within striking distance if the weapons were deployed in southern or western #Iraq.
